Personal Quotes
Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash.
In dreams the truth is learned that all good works are done in the absence of a caress.
When you stop thinking about yourself all the time, a certain sense of repose overtakes you.
When things get really bad, just raise your glass and stamp your feet and do a little jig. That’s about all you can do.
I don’t consider myself a pessimist. I think of a pessimist as someone who is waiting for it to rain. And I feel soaked to the skin.
